Zakk Wylde Talks Ozzy & Friends Shows
The guitarist reveals what fans can expect from the shows which replaced Sabbath tour
In a new interview with Noisecreep, Wylde revealed some details about the forthcoming Ozzy & Friends shows, which were arranged to replace Black Sabbath's cancelled tour dates when Tony Iommi was diagnosed with lymphoma.
"It’s the "Ozzy and Friends” thing,” he explains. "Current Ozzy bandmembers Gus G., Blasko and Tommy Clufetos are coming out and doing a bunch of tunes, then I come out with Blasko and Tommy and we end up doing a bunch of stuff from the era when I was with The Boss, from ‘No Rest For The Wicked’ all the way through everything I’ve ever done with him. Then Geezer Butler comes out and we do a bunch of Sabbath stuff and at the end, Slash and everybody - Geezer, Slash, Gus - and we all play ‘Paranoid’.”
The Ozzy & Friends Tour takes in 15 dates around Europe from May to the end of June.
